You may or may not remember my refashion challenge to myself a few weeks ago. My goal was to create fashion pieces that will transition into fall using discarded pieces from my summer wardrobe. This project is inspired from #4 above and was created from a worn-too-much-and-tired-of t-shirt from J.Crew along with a torn sundress from the clearance rack at LOFT. I love bib-front tops and decided to highlight the bib on my top by outlining it with the fabric from the maxi dress, which hopefully brings it all together into one cohesive maxi dress (if doesn't, I'm wearing it anyway!). Either way, the end result is a comfy dress that can be layered over as the weather gets chillier. Goal: ACHIEVED

1. Fold the dress over so 1/4 inch remains above stitching line. Pin into place on right side of shirt, stretching to fit.

2. Topstitch the two pieces together to attach, slightly stretching as you sew.
